As I type that title, in my head I'm singing the theme song from that TV show The OC.
We're going on a family vacation this year! Obviously to California. My dad lives there south of Los Angeles. We're going to visit him and do other fun stuff too. We're flying and staying in a nice family friendly hotel. My dad is letting us borrow his Durango while we're there so we won't have to rent a car. I'm so excited! I feel like a kid looking forward to it. I guess because it's our first REAL family vacation since the twins were born. And it's so fun to get the kids all excited about it.
We're gonna go to Disneyland, Sea World, the beach, and who knows where else. Yay!
Have a great weekend!

Five Question Friday
1. What was the first car you owned?
a 1991 Geo Storm...teal green. I was awesome! Actually it was a great car. It kept going long after it should have given out. We still refer to the "Geo annointing" that keeps cars running years past their expiration date. : )
2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to?
Ice Ice Baby
3. Have you ever had stitches?
C-section. Fun.
4. What was your first job?
I worked for about 2 days as a telemarketer for Olan Mills photography. WORST DAYS EVER!!
5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?
Well, I watch this show often since we have 3 little ones. I like Zoey...she's elmo's little dance-loving friend.

Not much new
I'm just blogging to blog today. I don't really have much to say. Really, I'm just procrastinating from doing some bookkeeping work. I don't mind the work, I'm just not in the mood to do it today. The girls are home from "school" and are playing "chase" in the next room...hopefully no one will fall. Hannah & Olivia don't understand the rules...they pretty much just dance all over the place and Cassie darts in and out saying "you're it!". : )
Here's what we've been doing lately. Enjoy!
The Saturday before Easter we went to the zoo. It's a brave family who takes these 3 to the zoo...
And Easter Sunday after church at Nana's
I tried to post a cute video of Hannah singing her rendition of Jesus Loves Me but I can't get it to work for some reason. I'll try again another day. Have a good one!

Mark is training Cassie already...maybe she'll make a good caddy?
Two peas in a pod at our church's Easter Eggstravaganza
Hannah likes our ducks...haven't seen any ducklings so far this year

It's Five Question Friday again...
1. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?
Sandra Bullock...I just love her!
2. Did you ever go to summer camp?
Oh yes, at least the weekly kind. As a kiddo, it was a day camp at church or weekly camp with the Bushes. As a teen, it was youth camp or being a counselor for the kids camps that the Bushes did at Singing Waters. As a college bound young adult, it was being a counselor for the teen camps that the Ericksons did at Kings Arrow Ranch. Never for a whole summer...that was reserved for missions trips to Mexico. : )
3. What sends you running and screaming in the other direction?
BUGS!!! Specifically the flying stinging kind. I mean, I really hate ALL bugs. Spiders freak me out but I can deal with the creepy crawly kind...at least enough to squish them and flush them down the toilet. I can't just throw them in the trash can, I have this weird idea that they're faking death and will crawl out and come after me. If they're flushed, they're really gone. : ) But bees and wasps send me running and screaming every time. It's sad really.
4. What is something you do that drives your spouse nuts?
Well, aparently when the toilet paper is almost gone in the bathroom, I take out another roll and leave it out on top of the old roll so that when the old one is out, another one will be available. We've been married for 8 years, and for 8 years I've thought I was being nice to the next person so they wouldn't run out of paper. Well, a couple of weeks ago I found out that for 8 years this has been driving my husband crazy! He never said anything for 8 years!! Looks like there's never enough toilet paper left on the roll at that point so he always ends up having to change the roll. This really bothers him for some reason and he just now told me that! Oh well. It doesn't change anything. I'm not going to throw out a roll that still has paper on it just so he doesn't have to change it. I'm sure we can work past this and save the marraige. : ) Ha ha!
5. What is currently your favorite song?
Hmmmm...I always dislike this question because this can change daily. Today it's an old church worship song. I don't know the name of it but someone gave me a paper recently (my mom) with a scripture from Lamentation 3:22-23 "22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." I only remember the chorus but it's been playing on repeat in my head today. I love the old worship songs that I learned as a kid. It's how I'd memorized most of the scriptures that I know by heart.
Sandra Bullock...I just love her!
